Recipe Reviews
make these every year with Apples from the garden, really lovely muffin , very poplar with anyone i give one too to try , last well for most of the week freshness wise, a good one for the work breakfast box to have with a coffee
Very easy to make, and so soft and light. I didn't have any cinnamon, so used ground mixed spice instead (which I prefer). This is a generous recipe and had more than enough for 12 muffins.
Highly recommend, thank you for the recipe.
Turned out amazing, made these with apples from the garden and added 1/2 a teaspoon of pumpkin spice for an autumnal flavour. Will definitely make these again.
made these a few times now as they have become a September/October bake with apples from my garden. they are lovely and easy to make, tasty mid morning muffin i often eat them along side an apple as well.
Very nice cupcakes, next time I shall make sure to use the correct kind of oil, but they tasted okay despite the wrong oil, so I imagine they would taste splendid if made properly.
Made these today. Really delicious, very moist. My son is currently scoffing his way through them. I seemed to have leftover batter though (I filled the cupcake cases maybe 2/3 full as I didn't know how much they might rise). Put the extra in a loaf tin making a mini loaf with it. Yummy. Thanks for the recipe.
